Welcome to our second
ever PK101 slot. This week we’re talking Cutlery – but don’t worry, we won’t be
explaining what it’s used for or how! Lets get straight onto the good stuff.
Nisbets provide a wide
range of different cutlery for a variety of different uses, however you’re
decision is likely to be made based upon the designs and looks that you prefer,
rather than the brand.
For unbeatable value,
quality cutlery in a wide range of pure white finishes and designs that are
oven, microwave, dishwasher and freezer proof, choose Olympia.
For virtually
unbreakable, shatterproof, dishwasher safe coloured cutlery designed for use in
hospitals, schools and other institutions, take a look at Kristallon.
For simple and classic
Italian-made cutlery from a company founded in 1929 and the first Italian
cutlery company to obtain a Quality System Certification, take your pick with Abert.
For sleek,
European-inspired cutlery from one of the worlds largest cutlery specialists
who are leading the market in innovation and design, select Amefa.
For stylish,
distinctive and contemporary designs in highly polished stainless steel, pick Elia.
For the highest
quality, stainless steel silver-plated cutlery incorporating fantastically
elegant designs choose the famous cutlery house Chef &
Sommelier.
Last time: Chafing
Dishes. Next time: Table
Linen.
Today is Shrove Tuesday, also
known as ‘Pancake Day’ here in the UK, and it signifies the beginning of Lent.
To celebrate we’ve asked all the staff here as Nisbets what they like to have
on their pancakes and the top answers are lemon and sugar, nutella, plum jam
and savory ham! Why not get into the pancake making mood by browsing our
selection of frying pans
and crepe
makers?

5 Things Your Commercial Kitchen Cannot Do Without
9:34 am
If you’re in the catering business,
read our list of the five things your kitchen cannot do without.
Refrigeration
Make sure you have enough space to
comfortably store your food – this will make sure nothing gets spoiled and also
will help you to easily identify and remove the produce you need. If you’re
looking to be green always ensure your refrigeration units are well away from your cooking machines.
No commercial kitchen can do without a
sink or two. In an ideal world you would have a sink for cleaning fluids/hand washing,
a food prep sink and a sink for washing up cookware and other items. You can
also supplement your sinks with warewashing equipment such as dishwashers, glasswashers and even cutlery polishers.
Ovens
Ovens can be gas, electric, steam,
combination, induction, convection or dual fuel. With so many to choose from,
consider what you will be using them for and how often – this should set you in
the right direction.
Cookware
No kitchen - commercial or domestic,
can do without cookware – pots, pans, trays and tins. Keep a good selection so you are prepared for all
eventualities from a meal for one, to a table of 20. Plus, you’ll always have
some in reserve if your dishwashing schedule is behind!
Knives
No kitchen can function without a good
set of chefs knives. Keep them clean and sharpen them regularly and they should last
a long time. Select brands that are trustworthy, such as Global or Victorinox, and ensure you have a wide selection for all types of food
preparation.
Our February catalogue
saw the launch of over 700 new products here at Nisbets. We’ve now got a
dedicated page on our website where you can see some of the highlights from all
700 products including new ChefWorks aprons, jackets and hats, water fountains and dispensers,
olive wood presentation boards, ice cream scoops and Samsung washing machines. View
the Nisbets
new range highlights.
Later this month
Nisbets will be occupying a stand at Hotelympia – The UK’S Largest Trade
Foodservice and Hospitality Event. Running every two years, it is one of the
largest platforms in the world for visitors and exhibitors to meet and new
business relationships to be formed.
This year, Nisbets
will be on their biggest ever stand and they will be showcasing a number of
different brands including Samsung, Waring, Dynamic, ChefWorks, Dito Sama and
KitchenAid among others.
There will be plently
of demonstrations held throughout the event and the opportunity to win prizes
and take part in giveaways.
The brand new Nisbets
catalogue with over 700 new lines will also be available to pick up from our
stand N1846.
Dan Debari, Waring
Marketing Director has said they will always support Nisbets at Hotelympia
because “they continue to be the one-stop shop for all of your needs. With
their commitment to carrying the industry’s best products at very competitiave
price points, Nisbets will always remain in a league of their own”.

We are pleased to announce that out of the 1029 tonnes of waste that Nisbets produced throughout 2011, we have recycled 942 tonnes. We hope you'll agree this is a significant amount, over 90%! Our average monthly recycling rate was 92%, and the average commercial recycling rate in the UK is just 52.1%.
- We sent 384 tonnes of cardboard and paper for recycling.
- We saved 1,929,000 KwH of energy (enough to supply over 174k houses).
- We saved 115,200,000 litres of water and almost 8000 trees, which is enough to produce almost 2 million toilet rolls or 127k reams of copier paper!
Each year in Britain we throw away 28 million tonnes of rubbish from our homes, and over 80% of this could be recycled.
